@andyschnell58 Wow, I love how you describe Angelina as a “vocal painter”-it’s such a fitting way to capture her incredible range and ability to express emotion through her voice. It’s amazing to see how much she’s accomplished at such a young age, from writing over 100 songs to creating new takes on classics. I appreciate you sharing all this info-there’s so much more to explore in her music, and I’m looking forward to discovering more of her original work. Thanks for the detailed breakdown! 😊🎶
If I Were A Boy (Acapella start version) Angelina Jordan's acapella performance of "If I Were A Boy" exemplifies the profound impact that a stripped-down musical arrangement can have on an audience. The absence of instrumentation allows her voice to fill the space with raw emotion, creating an intimate atmosphere that draws listeners into the narrative of the song. There is a moment captured at 54 seconds into the video, where cellist Paul Grennan is seen completely absorbed by Jordan's voice, is a beautiful representation of the deep connection that can exist between musicians and their craft. Such moments highlight the essence of musical expression, where the focus is solely on the purity of the sound and the story it tells. This kind of authenticity in performance not only showcases Jordan's vocal talent but also the symbiotic relationship between vocalist and instrumentalist, making it a truly captivating experience for those who witness it.
@LDP-i5n What a beautiful way to describe this performance! Angelina’s acapella start is indeed mesmerizing, and I totally agree-when it’s just her voice, the emotion is so raw and powerful. It’s amazing how music can create that deep connection between performers and listeners. I’ll definitely pay extra attention to that moment with the cellist next time I watch it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 😊🎶

Rob was the MC of AJ Christmas Show that aired Dec 23, of 21. AJ’s Christmas Show that live-streamed on Dec 23 of 21 had some of the most important musicians of our time: Frank Sinatra's drummer for 6 years, and sun in-law of the late Henry Mancini, Greg Field has won 9 Grammys, and the bass player, Chuck Berghofer who also played for Sinatra for 6 years, and toured with Barbara Streisand, accompanied AJ on her Christmas Show, and they stated that she had the "storytelling ability of the greats, Streisand, Fitzgerald, Vaughan, including Sinatra, to name a few. The main pianist, a five-time nominated for Grammys, Shelly Berg, stated in all his years working with the greatest vocalist, he had never encountered a talent like AJ. Did I forget to mention Jimmy Z, the famous Sax Player who worked with Rod Steward, Etta James, the Eurythmics, and Doctor Dre, was part of the band for the show? Jimmy stated that AJ was the best he has ever played for. Rob Christie Republic Records Studio Director at Universal Music Group Manhattan Beach, California played the guitar and was the MC of the show. (I can't list the complete backgrounds on all the band members because it would take several pages to do them justice.) Angelina stated that she would rather perform than take a breath, and she has never been forced to perform, it has been her decision. AJ now lives in West Hollywood in Los Angeles, where the record company Republic Records has built a separate music studio for her. She states, "I feel incredibly lucky to have been signed by one of the biggest record companies in the world. I have my own studio where I make my own music.

Welcome to Angelina world. I see one of our Angels Andy Schnell has given you a very comprehensive summary of what Angelina has done. She is the most chronicled artists in the world since the age of 18 months thanks to grandma Mery, Mama Sara and the unwavering love and dedication of her Angels ❤❤👣❤❤
A good way to start Sunday. It is very difficult to describe her voice and not fall in love with this version. What a enjoyable and enriching analysis Collena, have a peaceful Sunday you and your viewers ✌️😊
A very nice reaction! A number of music legends that have met her have said that she is a great storyteller, so I was happy to hear you mention that! She's been singing for over a decade and she's only 18 years old. Then, to have co-writer of the song, Toby Gad, playing piano for her is just amazing. Currently, Angelina and Toby are working together and creating new songs for her to sing. Exciting times!
@rw716 Thank you so much! 😊 It’s amazing how, even at such a young age, Angelina has already mastered the art of storytelling through her music. And to be working with someone like Toby Gad, co-writing and creating new music together, is truly special. I’m excited to see what they come up with next! Thanks for sharing this info-it really is an exciting time for her fans! 🎶
Thank you for the beautiful reaction, Collena. This is a new and fantastic live version of the song, with the wonderful echoes of the church that make it even more magical her voice, I would listen endlessly to her wonderful and powerful voice with that incredible low register of her and those wonderful progressions, I admire her fantastic musical sensitivity more and more, it seems impossible, but every song, simple or complex, which she rediscover becomes a new and splendid song. For me she is simply unique and with an incredible melodic perception. I love this composed and passionate performance, it's absolutely healing for the soul but even so crossed by an incredible musical power and structure, I love when in the second part, the soft background accompaniment of the piano and cello gives a wonderful and silky backdrop at her incredible voice. 💛🧡❤
I love it when Angelina sings acapella. She does it a lot on her TikTok, when she is walking on the street or she especially likes to do it in a parking garage where the family keeps their car. She just records herself using a selfie stick for her phone & the reverb in the garage is great. I hope a creator fan puts together a YT video of all her Garage Performances. It would be great to recommend for a reaction & since they are all very short, the video wouldn't be too long.
Awesome reaction! There is just no one like her in music today, maybe ever. She is doing some amazing work with Toby Gad, they recently released a jazzy version of her new song "Bad Valentine" that is stunningly good! Hope you will check it out.
This song, written by Toby Gad and BC Jean, first recorded by BC Jean and then made famous when Beyonce recorded it. Here Toby asked Angelina to record it for his new album "Piano Diaries" and they have recorded several renditions including this one. Now Toby and Angelina along with Charlotte Jane have written a new song, "Bad Valentine" which was released on September 20th. They have recorded several versions of this song as well. My favorites are the live performance which is captured on Toby Gad's channel and the jazzy (piano diaries) version which is a release on Angelina's official channel. Here are the links to those: th-cam.com/video/S030JbpJz1w/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for following Angelina. Peace and Love.
@jim-rohe Thanks so much for sharing all this info! 😊 It’s amazing to see how Angelina, Toby Gad, and Charlotte Jane have collaborated on “Bad Valentine” and how they keep experimenting with different versions. I appreciate you sharing the links-I’ll definitely check them out! Peace and love to you too! 🎶❤️

Wonderful review Collena....Agee with all you said....after 8 years of following this young lady can only say she is one of the very best vocalists to grace this planet in many decades. Thank you for the great reaction. Would love to see more.
@CarlD70 Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It’s amazing to hear how much you appreciate her talent after following her for so long. I completely agree-she’s truly one of a kind. I’ll definitely be doing more reactions soon! 🎶
There is another music video in the same church setting that is terrific, but it's a studio recording. THIS one is captured live amid the soaring acoustics of the church. I'm sure that's why they kept the "Yay, that was good" (understatement of the year) at the end of this single take, to prove to the doubters her insane talent/voice/musicality is NOT a product of the studio. She is the REAL DEAL, unlike so many of today's less talented popular music singers who rely on autotune and pitch correction.
Angelina said before the live show ( in Glendal Alex Theater 🎭 near Los Angeles California September 20th 7pm) the musicians 🎸 🎹🎷🎺🥁 shook hands 🤝 in a circle, "We will Kill" this live show and then we will all go on a Big "Tour" soon, that is God's 💥🙏 will !

It’s so inspiring to see how much you appreciate her talent and spirit. The way she effortlessly blends different musical styles, like her unique take on jazz, is truly something special. I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction, and I’ll keep supporting her. I love her singing 👑✨ Thank you for sharing all this with me, Roger, and for being part of the community! Sending love and positive vibes right back to you! 😊🎶
Please react to her newest release (link below) of “Bad Valentine” piano diaries from the Toby Gad page. She is 18, and I think her fans would appreciate learning about how her voice may change and grow as she matures over the next several years. She keeps surprising us with new sounds and techniques; this version of Bad Valentine is audio only with piano and strings as she uses her full range in this amazing version. ASMR from start to finish. Thank you. Clay Elledge
...seriously? 2:30 AD before the reaction? Sorry, but that is too much... Nevertheless I gave a thumb up because it's a reaction to the best female singer of this century ;-)

I love it when Angelina sings acapella. She does it a lot on her TikTok, when she is walking on the street or she especially likes to do it in a parking garage where the family keeps their car. She just records herself using a selfie stick for her phone & the reverb in the garage is great. I hope a creator fan puts together a YT video of all her Garage Performances. It would be great to recommend for a reaction & since they are all very short, the video wouldn't be too long.
Listening to the Queen of Song !!!
Awesome reaction! There is just no one like her in music today, maybe ever. She is doing some amazing work with Toby Gad, they recently released a jazzy version of her new song "Bad Valentine" that is stunningly good! Hope you will check it out.
This song, written by Toby Gad and BC Jean, first recorded by BC Jean and then made famous when Beyonce recorded it. Here Toby asked Angelina to record it for his new album "Piano Diaries" and they have recorded several renditions including this one. Now Toby and Angelina along with Charlotte Jane have written a new song, "Bad Valentine" which was released on September 20th. They have recorded several versions of this song as well. My favorites are the live performance which is captured on Toby Gad's channel and the jazzy (piano diaries) version which is a release on Angelina's official channel. Here are the links to those: th-cam.com/video/S030JbpJz1w/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/6Ln9Tajsuzk/w-d-xo.html Thank you so much for following Angelina. Peace and Love.
@jim-rohe Thanks so much for sharing all this info! 😊 It’s amazing to see how Angelina, Toby Gad, and Charlotte Jane have collaborated on “Bad Valentine” and how they keep experimenting with different versions. I appreciate you sharing the links-I’ll definitely check them out! Peace and love to you too! 🎶❤️

Wonderful review Collena....Agee with all you said....after 8 years of following this young lady can only say she is one of the very best vocalists to grace this planet in many decades. Thank you for the great reaction. Would love to see more.
@CarlD70 Thank you so much for your kind words! 😊 It’s amazing to hear how much you appreciate her talent after following her for so long. I completely agree-she’s truly one of a kind. I’ll definitely be doing more reactions soon! 🎶
Fantastic reaction -- hope to hear many more! AJ's vibrato + fry (frybrato) is now her signature.

Wonderful reaction and your insightful comments. Thank you!

There is another music video in the same church setting that is terrific, but it's a studio recording. THIS one is captured live amid the soaring acoustics of the church. I'm sure that's why they kept the "Yay, that was good" (understatement of the year) at the end of this single take, to prove to the doubters her insane talent/voice/musicality is NOT a product of the studio. She is the REAL DEAL, unlike so many of today's less talented popular music singers who rely on autotune and pitch correction.
Angelina said before the live show ( in Glendal Alex Theater 🎭 near Los Angeles California September 20th 7pm) the musicians 🎸 🎹🎷🎺🥁 shook hands 🤝 in a circle, "We will Kill" this live show and then we will all go on a Big "Tour" soon, that is God's 💥🙏 will ! God 💫🙏 protects Angelina, his earthly angel 😇 the whole time, he guides Angelina through the family - 👪 and music - 🎶 world 🌍 always in the light ✨️🌟☀️😊 ! God 💥 sent Angelina to us 💫 for this very reason, so that over time Angelina can find and gather all of her helper angels 😇😇😇 to begin healing 🙌 the world with her divine loving ❤️🔥 voice 👩😲🎙 and God's 💥 plan ! To spread love 💖❤️🔥 ! hope 😌 ! and peace 🙏 ! every day👍👌😊 ! God 💥 protect Angelina, our angel 😇 ! and Toby ! and all their musicians🎷🎹 🎸🥁 🎺 😊 !
New "Bad Valentine Jazzi 🎺 Version" ! This new jazz 🎷style that Angelina sings here 😲 is called "Scat Jazz 🎺 Scat - melismas" They are used especially in Gospel and Jazz 🎷🎺 singing 😲 ! Using Syllables and Word fragments, Angelina 😲 imitates onomatopoeic 😵 Instrumental 🎹 Phrases in the Song 🎶 ! Elements from the Instrumental part 🎺🎸🎷of the other Musicians 🎶 are also used here ! Only Angelina can sing 😲 her own Song in 10 Different New Ways ! As I said, Angelina is a Chameleon 🦎 She always slips 💥 into a new Music Style 🎶 and singing Style 😲!

@rogergraetzer5992 Wow, that’s such a passionate and heartfelt message! 😊 I can feel your love and admiration for Angelina all the way from Switzerland! It’s so inspiring to see how much you appreciate her talent and spirit. The way she effortlessly blends different musical styles, like her unique take on jazz, is truly something special. I’m glad you enjoyed the reaction, and I’ll keep supporting her. I love her singing 👑✨ Thank you for sharing all this with me, Roger, and for being part of the community! Sending love and positive vibes right back to you! 😊🎶
Please react to her newest release (link below) of “Bad Valentine” piano diaries from the Toby Gad page.
She is 18, and I think her fans would appreciate learning about how her voice may change and grow as she matures over the next several years.
She keeps surprising us with new sounds and techniques; this version of Bad Valentine is audio only with piano and strings as she uses her full range in this amazing version. ASMR from start to finish.
Thank you.

Please react to jazz version of
Bad Valentine (Piano Diaries)

Buckle up for greatness.
...seriously? 2:30 AD before the reaction? Sorry, but that is too much...
Nevertheless I gave a thumb up because it's a reaction to the best female singer of this century ;-)
Thanks for your feedback. And for the thumbs up! 😀😉
